Christmas highlights, part one

I still don't have my camera back. (Part two coming next week, I hope. Some time before St. Patrick's day for sure.) But here are some photos my mom emailed me...

TN Barber girls on Christmas Eve. Sometime shortly after we moved back to Tennessee seven years ago we started posing for pictures like this. I don't know why, but we've done it pretty much every holiday since.TN Barber girls and boys on Christmas day.Another successful pageant!Cousins have mixed feelings about trimming the tree.My favorite of the batch she sent. This is so Josh (he's an affection-addict), and Mom just looks beautiful.

Five people call me mom. They do it like this...

"Mom, are we doing anything tonight?""Mom, I'm still hungry.""Mom, when I grow up I want to be the ninja of fighting and stealth.""Mom, what if the whole world is just a giant pop-up book?""Mom, the most disgusting collection of all would be...a booger collection."
